Amzin place…. It was a great experience. I saw a place which may can be a future for any developing country…may be 100 or more years ahead.




Landed, and it was comfortable journey to this place. Smile on the face everyone is missing.



An expensive hotel in a developed country, Front office executive was very competent and confident. What does not happen in hotel of underdeveloped countries :

They will ask you for choice of newspaper

No sign of hot and cold water ( probably its always a hot water in the taps ?)

Asking how many keys we want ( could not get reason , may be people loose keys ? )

Guest will stand behind you and not do any action to bother you or intervene in your conversation with the front office executive

A simple thing like converter ( round pin ) is not available in the hotel. They say they will check if they have not consumed all ( we create a fuss in hotels for want of these things )

Internet in hotel room is not free, they want you to sign on terms before connecting you.

Very well maintained nice place, but I feel other countries have actually exceed this place in guest relations/comfort. Here you will find more direct answers.

No bell boy to carry your luggage from Hotel door to the reception. – Do yourself.

Hotel will ask you specifically if you need any help in transferring your luggage to your room from lobby ( we get 5 star treatment right from the time we step out from cab at hotel door. )

No doorman, open the door your self.

( aren’t we creating lot of jobs[needlessly ?] in other countries ?? )

Transport related quarries can only be handled in morning ( when the concierge person arrives ) – be cool…

Restaurant closes at 9 pm ( amazing, our crowd starts stepping in at 9 ) – what people do after taking dinner …to be understood ( its my first night here ….bit dissatisfied customer )



General :

Roads are very clean and less occupied ( more space per capita?/ population effect ?? )

Buildings are maintained as it from ages, external historical outlook is maintained as it is ( unlike our countries where we are seeing hi-tech buildings – and we call it growth )

People wear what they want and walk anywhere( no one is observing )

People talk on general subjects ( baseless , time pass – with no substance )

The society is very much conservative and self centric. Helpful yet self centric. No one will look at you in market place. People wear whatever they want - no one stares (unlike us ). Individualistic approach. Very costly – people yet live lavishly and buy things. There are poor, yes there are like any other country. I could not see anyone begging. Very few homeless on roadside. No police- every moment is controlled by camera, radars.

Traffic is very cool. Cars will stop automatically for pedestrians, walkers can push a button on a pole installed near all traffic lights and vehicles will stop for them to allow them to pass. No rickshaw, no auto rickshaw………..TO BE CONTINUED
